The Fastest Way to Slash Merchant Interchange Fees Without Losing Control of Your Funds

Interchange fees are killing your margins.

Every swipe. Every tap. Every online checkout. You're hemorrhaging 2-4% to card networks, banks, and processors.

For most merchants, that's thousands, sometimes millions, gone annually. Money you earned. Money you'll never see again.

But here's the thing: you don't have to accept this anymore.

Web3 payments are rewriting the rules. And the smartest merchants are already making the switch.

The Interchange Fee Problem Nobody Talks About

Traditional payment processors love complexity. It's how they hide their real costs.

Tiered pricing. Flat-rate models. Assessment fees. PCI compliance charges. Monthly minimums.

The average merchant pays 2.5% to 3.5% on every credit card transaction. For B2B companies? That number climbs even higher.

Sure, you could switch to interchange-plus pricing. You might save 15-35 basis points with an optimized MCC code. Level 2/L3 data processing can shave off another 0.70% to 1.50%.

But you're still playing their game.

Banks still hold your money. Processors still control the flow. Chargebacks still wreck your cash flow.

You've optimized. You've negotiated. You've done everything "right."

And you're still losing.

Why Traditional "Solutions" Fall Short

Let's be honest about the alternatives.

ACH transfers? Slower than molasses. 3-5 business days minimum.

Bank wires? Expensive. Complex. Not practical for everyday transactions.

Debit cards? Lower fees, sure. But you can't force customers to use them.

Payment aggregators? They just add another layer of fees.

The fundamental problem remains: middlemen everywhere.

Every intermediary takes a cut. Every institution adds friction. Every delay costs you money.

Traditional finance wasn't built for merchants. It was built for banks.

Time to flip the script.

Enter Web3 Payments: The Merchant-First Revolution

Crypto payments aren't just for tech bros anymore.

They're becoming the fastest-growing payment method for merchants who want to:

• Slash processing fees by 50% or more

• Maintain complete control over their funds

• Accept payments from anywhere on the planet

• Eliminate chargeback fraud entirely

No banks. No processors. No waiting days for settlement.

Just direct, peer-to-peer transactions.

Sounds simple. Because it is.

How Larecoin Delivers What Traditional Crypto Can't

Here's where most crypto payment solutions fail: they recreate the same problems they claim to solve.

NOWPayments? CoinPayments? Triple-A?

They still hold your funds. They still control your wallet. They still act as intermediaries.

You've traded Visa's cut for a crypto processor's cut. Congratulations. You've gone sideways.

Larecoin is different.

Built from the ground up for self-custody merchant accounts, Larecoin puts you in control. Period.

Your keys. Your wallet. Your money.

Here's what that means in practice:

True Self-Custody

Funds go directly to your wallet. Not Larecoin's. Not some third-party custodian's. Yours.

No approval processes. No withdrawal limits. No frozen accounts because someone in compliance had a bad day.

You earned it. You control it. Immediately.

LUSD Stablecoin Benefits

Worried about crypto volatility? Don't be.

LUSD provides dollar-stable value without bank dependency. Accept payments in crypto. Hold them in a stablecoin. Convert when you want, not when a processor allows.

Predictable. Stable. Bank-free.

NFT Receipts for Accounting

This is where it gets interesting.

Every transaction generates an NFT receipt. Immutable. Verifiable. Permanently recorded on-chain.

No more lost invoices. No more disputed transactions. No more audit nightmares.

Your accountant will thank you. Your auditors will be impressed. Your records become bulletproof.

Receivables Token Innovation

Larecoin's receivables token transforms how you manage cash flow.

Tokenized receivables. Tradeable assets. Liquidity when you need it, not when banks approve it.

Think of it as invoice factoring without the factor. Immediate value from pending payments.

The Numbers Don't Lie

Let's do some quick math.

Traditional processing: 2.5% average fee

Larecoin: Sub-1% total cost

On $100,000 monthly volume:

• Traditional: $2,500 in fees

• Larecoin: Under $1,000

Annual savings: $18,000+

Scale that up. A million in monthly transactions? You're looking at $180,000+ back in your pocket.

Every. Single. Year.

Crypto POS System for Small Business

Big retailers have entire teams optimizing payment costs. Small businesses don't have that luxury.

That's why Larecoin's crypto POS system was built for simplicity.

• Easy integration with existing checkout flows

• Multi-chain support for maximum flexibility

• Real-time settlement instead of 2-3 day holds

• Global reach without international transaction fees

Whether you're running a coffee shop or an e-commerce empire, the setup takes minutes. Not weeks.

No enterprise sales calls. No complex integrations. No hidden fees revealed six months later.

NOWPayments Alternative? CoinPayments Alternative? Here's the Difference

Merchants shopping for crypto payment solutions typically land on NOWPayments or CoinPayments first.

They're established. They're functional. They're... fine.

But "fine" doesn't slash your interchange fees by 50%+.

Where they fall short:

Feature	NOWPayments/CoinPayments	Larecoin
Self-custody	Limited	Full control
NFT receipts	No	Yes
Stablecoin integration	Basic	Native LUSD
Receivables tokenization	No	Yes
Bank-free operations	Partial	Complete

The choice becomes obvious when you actually compare capabilities.

Global Reach Without Global Headaches

International payments are a nightmare with traditional processors.

Currency conversion fees. Cross-border transaction charges. SWIFT delays. Correspondent bank fees.

Selling globally shouldn't cost you 5%+ per transaction.

With Web3 global payments, borders disappear. A customer in Tokyo pays the same as a customer in Texas. Instantly. With minimal fees.

Your market just expanded to 8 billion people. Without adding a single bank account.

Financial Sovereignty for Merchants

Let's talk about what really matters: control.

Banks freeze accounts. Processors hold reserves. Payment providers change terms overnight.

You've built a business. You've generated revenue. And someone else decides when: and if: you can access your own money.

That's not partnership. That's dependency.

Larecoin represents financial sovereignty for merchants. Real ownership. Real control. Real freedom to operate your business without permission from institutions that see you as a risk profile, not a partner.
